Quote:Have you ever tried to handhold and manual focus or only change the FL of the 120-300? I'm just guessing the answer will be "no"

And while manual focusing is comparatively easy with an Art-lens (as well as the types of other manufacturers), the Fuji focus by wire system is in my eyes a clear disadvantage for long glass. Without any kind of tripod it's close to impossible to frame and focus.

We're currently talking about Fuji, yes? Well, the AF is easily distracted by obstacles like twigs, leaves and other stuff - and soon I'd be too happy if the manual focus would be worth to use. But so far, each bird which doens't like me to get a picture from it, is perfectly safe as soon as he hides behind a cob web.

So far my experience with X-T2 and 100-400 - and that lens is not very heavy, at least lighter than that 200/2
